Edmund G. Brown was widened today by new charges. Robert Gonzales, MAPA northern legal counsel and San Francisco chapter president, and Louis Flores, MAPA chapter president, accused, other official of issuing statements through the publicity depart ment Brown's Northern Cali4 fornia campaign headquarters. They said they resented statements by state president Eduar-do Quevedo and vice chairman Bert Corona that the MAPA constitution barred- any attempt to withdraw the organization's endorsement of Brown for a third term.

The MAPA convention voted the endorsement 147-19 hv Fresno Sunday. However, some militant members have threatened to try to kill the endorsement at MAPA's state meeting in San Francisco Aug. 19 unless Brown promises to appoint more Spanish-speaking Californians to state jobs and makes other commitments. Gonzales said he was upset because Quevedo and Corona insisted in a statement that "therewas no doubt about the finality of the support," and we are especially concerned because it was released through the governor's headquarters, particularly because Mr. Corona is a member of the governor's Northern California campaign committee.

"Did you have occasion to recommend the transfer-of any other Negro teacher?" Judge Cook asked. "Miss Sawyer- was the only Nepro teacher transferred on my recommendation from Fre mont High School," Abbott replied. "Was her transfer because she was a Negro?" the judge inquired.
